“It really stinks for women in the workplace that for too long, men have thought they can get away with that old-school thinking that its OK to belittle and harass women,” she said.

Palin asserted that recent developments, such as allegations against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore and Democratic Sen. Al Franken, lead to “a lot of questions about what standards are going to be applied to whom.”

Moore has been accused of sexual harassment by numerous women, some of whom claim that he interacted inappropriately with them when he was in his 20s and 30s and they were teenagers, some under the age of consent, The Blaze reported.

Franken faces accusations by radio host and former model LeeAnn Tweeden for kissing her against her will in a rehearsal for a skit in 2006 during a USO tour. Tweeden also accused him of groping her while she was asleep during a flight back to the U.S. — a moment that was captured in a photo.

Franken issued a statement on Thursday, addressing the allegations.

“I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann,” the statement read.

“As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t,” Franken said. “I shouldn’t have done it.”
